When given the opportunity to address the judge, Allison indicated he didn't wish to say anything.

Sundby ruled there was a substantial and compelling reason to depart from the standard sentence, and imposed the 34-month sentence.

"You'll be getting credit for time served," Sundby said.

Allison has remained in custody at Leavenworth County Jail during his case.

Sundby said the defendant would receive credit for 201 days in custody.

The case that had been filed against Allison's brother, Anthony E. Allison, involved a charge of interfering with the judicial process. It had been alleged that Anthony Allison washed the knife used in the stabbing.
